That's one way to gain followers! Halle Berry goes TOPLESS in first snap posted after joining Instagram

The 49-year-old commemorated joining picture-sharing social network Instagram by sharing a topless photo of herself on Tuesday.

She shows plenty of skin in the racy snap as the photo is taken from behind with a majestic jungle-like background.

Her highlighted brunette tresses were worn down flowing over her shoulders as she could be seen wearing nothing but bracelets on her wrists.

The Oscar-winner shared the photo with a thoughtful caption about joining the picture-sharing social network as she wrote: 'Hi everyone. Welcome! Today is a very exciting day for me... I'm looking forward to sharing our world through images that reflect my emotions and perceptions.

'I am in awe of photography and its ability to capture and reflect this extraordinary world that we live in.

'I'm excited to share with you my love of nature, the arts, fashion and much more in the hopes that the images will inspire, promote conversation and bring you joy. [heart emoji] Halle.'

No doubt the photo was taken on her holiday in Mexico as she has been enjoying bonding time in Puerto Vallarta with her two children and estranged husband Olivier Martinez.

Last week the couple - who filed for divorce in October - were spotted jetting from LAX Airport with heir son Maceo, two, and Halle's daughter from a previous relationship, Nahla, eight.

When the pair filed for divorce - both cited 'irreconcilable differences' - they said they wanted to move forward with the best interest of their children at heart.

For the kids: Halle and estranged husband Olivier Martinez were seen at the airport in Los Angeles, California, last week with their son Maceo and Halle's daughter from a previous relationship, Nahla

Friendly exes indeed: Initially keeping their heads down and not showing any emotion, Halle stopped at one point and broke into a big smile as they headed to check-in

The pair are reportedly seeking joint custody of Maceo with Halle no doubt wanting to avoid the vicious and drawn battle she went through with Nahla's father, Gabriel Aubry.

Halle and Olivier were married for two years before they called it quits on their marriage.

In a joint statement they announced their divorce via People, saying: 'It is with a heavy heart that we have come to the decision to divorce.

'We move forward with love and respect for one another and the shared focus of what is best for our son. We wish each other nothing but happiness in life and we hope that you respect our and, most importantly, our children's privacy as we go through this difficult period.'

And while the pair were flying together last week, sources tell TMZ that nothing has changed with them - they are being civil rather than reconciling.

The website reports that while the pair are getting on friendlier terms there is 'no chance' of them getting back together.
